| Obverse description | Highly stylised Celtic head facing right, rendered in the characteristically abstract Late Iron Age artistic tradition associated with the Danebury Moon Head type. The facial features are dissolved into a series of raised pellets, flowing curvilinear lines, and comma-shaped locks, suggesting hair or a laureate wreath in a deeply abstracted manner. A prominent curved element, likely representing the neck or jaw, sweeps across the lower field, while pellet-and-arc motifs fill the surrounding space. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, consistent with the small hammered silver-plated bronze units of the Atrebatic series. No legend or inscription is present, as is typical for this pre-Roman British coinage. |
